Why You Should Connect With Financial Coaches

We get that just when you think you have mastered managing bills, work and school — LIFE happens and it can shift your focus away from class.

Life "can happen" in an assortment of different ways.

Refund ran out and unexpected bills make it impossible to cover basic needs.

A loved one needs your financial support.

Your living situation changes for the worst.

A car accident affects you being able to work.

Natural disasters set you back financially.

You name it and we will do our best to help. For FREE, HCC’s Financial Coaches will connect you with resources to help you through your financial emergency, so you can remain focused on finishing school.

Through the Financial Coaches established network of community partners, they often hear about great scholarship opportunities. Scholarships are a great, debt-free way to offset all or part of the cost of your education. Chek here for the most up-to-date list of scholarships from the Financial Coaches' community partners.

After graduation when you seek to start a career, raise a family, buy a home, launch a business and/or save for retirement, debt can leave you feeling overwhelmed, burdened and out of options. Feeling like this doesn’t have to be your reality — you DO have options to manage and overcome federal student loan debt.

HCC's Financial Coaches are committed to informing students, alumni, faculty, staff and community members about public service loan forgiveness and affordable, income-based federal student loan repayment options

HCC accepted The White House Student Debt Challenge because it wants to see its future, current and past student Eagles, along with the community and its faculty and staff, soar beyond the burden of debt.

The White House Student Debt Challenge was a call to action for colleges, universities, non-profits, businesses, state and local governments, and other employers to help borrowers understand their options; enroll in income-based federal loan repayment plans and/or public service loan forgiveness programs; and avoid delinquency and default.
